X Fail to Load

[GhostDawg]

I just installed Crux 2.0 and everything installed but when I try to run startx, it crashes. Looking through the xorg.log file, I see the errors listed below.

(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.so
(II) UnloadModule: "freetype"
(EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (loader failed, 7)

The startx message also mentiong something about not finding this, libfreetype.so.

These are all the fonts I have listed.

libbitmap.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 56203 May 14 2004 libfreetype.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71968 May 14 2004 libspeedo.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 205896 May 14 2004 libtype1.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116024 May 14 2004 libxtt.a


Any ideas on fixing this?

well i guess i would start by removing the line
Load "freetype
from xorg.conf

I did take that line out, but still get error messages. I also get this error:

libfreetype.so.6: Can not open shared object file. No such file or directory.
Failed to load libfreetype.so.6
Failed to load module freetype (loader failed, 7)

Any more suggestions?

Thnx.

Execute `ln -s libfreetype.so libfreetype.so.6` in the directory of which you posted the listing above, and try starting X again.

I tried making the soft link and still not working. It seems something is wrong with the Path of the fonts.

I'll keep looking into it, but for now I've been playing with VidaLinux, Gentoo based.
